Images

On the Add attachments to assignment page, there are multiple images with an alt attribute of "folder", "open this folder", [missing key: helper sh.close]

This image appears to be purely for decoration and could have an alt attribute of alt="" (empty alt) instead or should match the name of the link it is tied to.

<a title="close podcasts folder" href="http://qa1-nl.sakaiproject.org/portal/tool/a5236d2b-ceec-4531-b8ca-b40fde7aa118/sakai.filepicker.helper?collectionId=/group/5eb30b3e-7701-43fa-ab9f-f67adbe95b9b/Podcasts/&panel=Main&sakai_action=doCollapse_collection" >
<img border="0" alt="close podcasts folder " title="close podcasts folder" src="/library/image/sakai/dir_openminus.gif?panel=Main" >  Podcasts </a>

Page Structure / Markup

Numerous forms fields on the Add new assignment page are not explicitly labeled.

One form field on the Add attachments to assignment page is not explicitly labeled. The label tag is present, but the "for" attribute is wrong.  It should be changed to for="url".

Similar unlabeled select fields are present on the Grade Assignment page.

One form field on the Grade Assignment page is not explicitly labeled. The label tag is present, but the "for" attribute is wrong.  It should be changed to for="defaultGrade_2".

Unlabeled select form field on the Assignments reorder page.

One form field on the Grade Assignment page is not explicitly labeled. The label tag is present, but the "for" attribute is wrong.  It should be changed to for="search".

Unlabeled checkboxes on Test assignments - submissions  page

Add explicit label tags to all form fields. Example:
<label for="new_assignment_openday" class="skip">Open Date Day</label><select onchange="blur(); " id="new_assignment_openday" name="new_assignment_openday">
                              <option value="1">1</option>

Page Structure / Markup

On the Add new assignment page, the required field indicator is outside the label tag for most form fields.

Include the required field indicator inside the label tag. Example:
<label for="new_assignment_title">
<span class="reqStar">*</span> Title </label> 
<input type="text" maxlength="100" size="30" value="" id="new_assignment_title" name="new_assignment_title"/>

Major

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the add new assignment page, clicking the "add" links next to model answer, private note, or all  purpose item causes two cancel buttons with different functions to be present.

Multiple buttons with the same name are also present on the add attachment page.

Each form field should be explicitly labeled

<label class="skip" for="modelanswer_cancel">cancel adding model answer</label>
<input type="button" value="Cancel" id="modelanswer_cancel" class="extraNodeInput">

Major

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Add attachment page, the heading structure does not make sense. The sub heading "location" is an h3 when the parent heading "select a resource" is an h4. 

Change the heading level to better reflect the hierarchical levels of the content.

<h4>Select a resource</h4>
<div class="breadCrumb">
<h5>Location: <img border="0" alt="Folder" src="/library/image/sakai/dir_closed.gif" >
AR Test 101 123 Spring 2010 Resources</h5>
</div>

Minor

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Assignment list page there are multiple checkboxes with the same label.

All form labels should be unique and descriptive. Example:
<input type="checkbox" id="check_1" value="/assignment/a/a17ab031-8d4b-49e9-930a-1d54549e8e6d/0cc2a7bf-1729-49dc-9324-87df30dddd76" name="selectedAssignments">
<label class="skip" for="check_1">Select <span class="skip">[Student Name]</span><span class="skip"> and allow resubmission</span></label>

Major

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Assignment list page the table summary is incorrect

The summary does not indicate the first column is completely empty and unused.  This should be added and the summary numbering changed accordingly.

Minor

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Grade Assignment page there are multiple checkboxes with the same label.

Add explicit label tags to all form fields. Example:
<input type="checkbox" id="check_admin" value="admin" name="selectedAllowResubmit"><label class="skip" for="check_admin"><span class="skip"> </span><span class="skip">[Assignment Name]</span></label>

Major

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Grade report page, the table summary is terse and does not discuss the table's structure.

The table Summary on the Student view page also needs to be updated to discuss the table's accurate structure.

Add Informative table summaries that inform the user of table structure. Example:
<table class="listHier lines nolines" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="List of graded student assignments. Column 1 contains the Student Name, column 2 contains the Assignment name, column 3 contains the student's grade, column 4 contains the grading  scale, and column 5 contains when the assignment was submitted?">

Minor

 

Page Structure / Markup

On the Permissions page, there are multiple checkboxes with empty label tags

All form fields should have unique labels and explicit. Example:
<label for="Studentasn.new">
<input type="checkbox" value="Studentasn.new" id="Studentasn.new" name="Studentasn.new" class="Studentasn.new"><span class="skip">Student create new assignment(s) </span></label>

Functionality
